From Ronald Hoffman, MD Last week, I shared the first nine in my list of the most common nutritional deficiencies that plague Americans. Now I’m rounding up the last nine, in an effort to keep you informed and on the lookout for potential gaps in your own nutrition. Without further ado: 10) Choline: It’s estimated that more than 90% […]
The agency once again signaled its determination to pursue a ban on nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a key supplement that can help turn back the clock on degenerative disease. Action Alert! While many may have given up on finding the mythical “Fountain of Youth,” emerging science is showing us strategies that can be used to help […]
From Ron Hoffman, MD You’ve heard the old saw: “Most people don’t need to take supplements if they’re following a healthy, balanced diet.” That’s a big “if”, especially since surveys—even those commissioned by government health agencies—admit that a significant percentage of Americans are not consuming adequate amounts of certain key nutrients. Here are some of […]

More FDA protectionism that works against patient interests. Action Alert! The FDA has announced its intent to issue a proposed rule this coming August that would extend the agency’s power over laboratory developed tests (LDTs). This is a critical threat, as LDTs are crucial tools used in personalized medicine because labs can create custom diagnostic […]
…yet the FDA, responsible for protecting our health and making sure our food is safe, continues to go to bat for Big Food. Action Alert! Would you be concerned if you and your children were consuming a possible carcinogen every day? One that Big Food and the FDA has said is a safe way of […]
From Ronald Hoffman, MD It’s time to fundamentally transform our healthcare system. The fact is, we spend way more per capita on healthcare than any other country in the world, and our health outcomes rank behind those of many poorer countries; virtually everyone agrees that the status quo can’t remain without the prospect of an […]
From Ronald Hoffman, MD We’ve long been propagandized about the imperative to switch from saturated fat to plant-derived oils.
